    Gluten free menu side 2
    Gabriella G.

    What a great find! This little brunch spot was perfect for us this Sunday morning. We didn't want a long line, and the free-style here is to go place your order at the register first, then you get a number, pick up your glass to get your drinks and sit at your chosen table until the food is magically delivered in a few minutes. Perfect! We read from the varied menu es (they have 3) before going up to the register to place our order. We were there around 10:30 and there was no line, but around 11 am the line started forming, so get there early, although I have to say that it moved quick. The food arrived also fast, and it was tasty!! I enjoyed an avocado toast with egg and bacon: yum! We also ordered a steak chimichurri wrap: super juicy and delicious came with fries, and an egg spinach jalapeño with extra steak wrap that was also yummy... no complaints. Had a pleasant fun brunch and off we went to continue our Austin adventure!

    Salmon tacos with fruit
    Christie P.

    A couple of friends and I went here for dinner because one of us is gluten-free, and they have a large gluten-free menu. You order at a counter and the staff brings the food out. We each tried a different entree. I had the salmon sriracha tacos which were really good and not too spicy. One friend tried the elotes chicken tacos which she said were very spicy. The third friend tried the salmon dinner, and she really liked it. Our only issue was that the restaurant was kind of dark, especially after sunset, and needed more lighting.

    Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl
    Kristen N.

    I ordered the Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl, which is vegan as-is. I asked about the dressing and the person about the counter was quick to open a binder that showed all ingredients, which I appreciated. This is definitely a local spot and not very cutesy/trendy like many popular Austin places, but it's a good place for a more classic breakfast or lunch option.

    Zocalo bowl!! Yummmm!
    Nikkie H.

    Had the Zocalo Bowl and it was delicious! Fresh ingredients, generous portion and full of flavor. The service was outstanding! Love the local vibe. The ambiance is comfortable and clean. It was a quiet place and would be a great place to study/work but the lighting is terrible. Maybe little table lamps for evening dining. I'm sure it's great in the day time.

    Galaxy Fish Wrap
    Nancy B.

    Just so happened to be in the neighborhood and was looking for a place to eat and found a Galaxy Café. I had the Galaxy Fish Wrap with a side of fruit. I am so glad I got to taste this amazing wrap. I don't think there is any other wrap that can compare to this wrap. The fish was fresh and the batter was crispy and the cabbage slaw complemented it perfectly. I had it on a spinach wrap. I don't think that changes the flavor much but it made it look a little bit prettier. The fruit was pretty cool as it was not your regular fruit cup. I don't live in Austin so I won't be here often. I did say I wish they had one closer to me. I definitely would love to go back and try all of their dishes. For some reason, I got the feeling that their coffee is amazing as I saw a lot of people getting it with their lunch. The dining area was really nice and comfortable and there were all sorts of people having lunch there.

    Preferred over door dash while I was in town on a business trip. The food was really good, delivered hot and fresh, and in time. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in the Austin area.

    Vida Verde Kitchen -- A Hidden Gem That's Worth Finding…read more Austin is overflowing with trendy restaurants where the food is decent, the lighting is aggressive, and the wait time requires a light snack and a personality shift. I tend to avoid those places. Vida Verde Kitchen, thankfully, is not that. Tucked into a great area but slightly hidden (the kind of spot you feel proud to "discover"), Vida Verde feels like a restaurant that exists for people who actually want to eat, not just post. The menu is a thoughtful fusion of Tex-Mex, fresh flavors, and Americana--familiar enough to be comforting, but creative enough to keep things interesting. Yes, it's a bit overpriced, but the food earns its confidence. The guacamole is an absolute must, and anything leaning Tex-Mex is consistently solid. I can vouch. The wait staff deserves real credit here--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the food and experience, which goes a long way these days. The atmosphere hits that Austin sweet spot: industrial touches softened by lush green foliage. It's stylish without trying too hard, which is rare and appreciated. If I had one note? This place needs a happy hour and a few more solid specials. Do that, and Vida Verde becomes dangerous--in the best way. Overall: a unique, thoughtful restaurant that avoids the hype trap and delivers where it matters. Definitely worth your time (and thankfully, not hours of it).

We were seated in the back and were given a chance to order drinks immediately. Sadly, the service after that point was unusually slow for our table. The rest of the people around us were getting served appetizers and their meals before our waitress even came back to take our order. The prices are a little higher than the best Mexican spots in Austin, so I'm glad that I wasn't paying for this meal. Once we were given a chance to order, I grabbed their Quesabirria tacos with rice and beans. The tacos were great. Super crispy and the meat was flavorful. The consomé was excellent to dip the tacos in. The beans were pretty good and the rice was decent Mexican rice, though not exceptional. I would maybe give it another chance if I was nearby, but after having to wait so long to order, I'm a little deterred from coming back, even if I thought the food was pretty good.

FAST FACTS: * Parking - located in a shopping center with a large parking lot * Online ordering - available for pickup or delivery on their website * Nutrition information - available on their website * Rewards program - join for free and earn points to redeem for rewards like free food, merch, discounts, etc. PRICING - The total was $22.47 after tax ($1.72) and a $4 discount from the rewards program but before tip for a za'atar spring bowl ($10.25) with an extra topping ($1.25) and a build your own honey mustard chicken bowl ($13.25). I think the pricing is reasonable for the quality of ingredients and but a little steep for the portion size. ORDERING - Place an order online for pick up or walk up to the counter to order a signature bowl or build your own bowl. You pick a protein (prices vary), choose a base, choose 2 market sides and 2 toppings, and choose a sauce. You can pay extra to add more of any of the offerings. PROTEINS - grilled chicken, honey mustard chicken, grilled steak, garlic pepper steak, fresh poke, and baked tofu. BASES - basmati rice, black forbidden rice, tricolored quinoa, organic spinach, wild arugula, wild rice, tender kale MARKET SIDES - roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, charred broccoli with sesame, curry roasted cauliflower, roasted beets, sweet corn, baby portobello mushrooms, roasted Brussels sprouts, french green lentils, and seasonal offerings TOPPINGS - pickled onions, toasted pumpkin seeds, edamame, cucumber salad, crumbled feta, avocado, jalapeños, asian slaw, goat cheese, toasted pecans, herb blend, crispy chickpeas, apples and seasonal offerings SAUCES - sesame vinaigrette, creamy poblano, cashew lime cream, lemon garlic, apple cider vinaigrette, chimichurri, spicy chili pequin The food is all fresh and tastes delicious but I feel like the amount you get for each ingredient just isn't much for the cost. It can be hard to find nutrition information for a lot of restaurants so I absolutely love that they have it available online. Honest Mary's is a great choice when you want a healthy and customizable bowl but go into it knowing that you don't get a ton of food for the price.
